Transcendent Noble

In the early morning, before the sun rose, and the distant sky just turned white, Rogers was awakened by the noisy bird. The bonfire has been extinguished, and a faint green smoke rises from the pale embers. Some people are still sleeping peacefully on sheepskin blankets, and some are no longer visible. Rogers stretched his waist, moved his muscles and muscles, cautiously walked through the pile of people on the ground and walked straight to the stream. On the way, he laughed kindly to the companion who was watching, who was lightly nodded.

He took a handful of cool water from the stream, washed his face happily, and drank a few more sips. When the stream recovered, Rogers’s eyes were greeted with a tender face. It was he himself.

Except for himself, everything else is strange to Rogers. Six days ago, Rogers joined this group of mercenaries, leaving the familiar forest for the first time, walking a strange road, surrounded by strange companions, surrounded by strange woods, which made the young mountain people a little excited.

These companions claim to be mercenaries of the Warhammer mercenary group, the uncle is the head of this mercenary group, and now Rogers has become a Warhammer mercenary. Although Rogers didn't know what the mercenaries were doing, he still followed the team closely. He knew from an early age that hunters became prey when they left the collective. Rogers found that the mercenaries hardly walked the mountain along the way. During the day, everyone walked along the periphery of the forest, and at night, they entered the mountain to camp. In the mercenary group, in addition to adults like the leader, there are six young mercenaries about his age, but these boys and girls are not friendly to Rogers. Fortunately, there are seven guys in the mercenary group who are willing to talk to Rogers. They claim to be Is a businessman.

The businessman left a strange impression on Rogers. The merchants entered the cottage last that day. They saw bloodstains and corpses on the ground, like frightened mountain apes, all screaming, shiver coldly, chanting what the Lord of Radiance is like. However, they soon happily took out salt, arrow clusters and other goods to exchange amber, herbs and animal skins with the people in the village. Rogers was puzzled. The cottage was breached. The things and women in the cottage belonged to them, so why exchange it?

Rogers has a special ability, he can feel danger and other people's emotions. Rogers noticed that businessmen like to count Amber when they are fine, and the more they count, the happier. So he asked this question when the merchants were happiest. The fat businessman named Witch told him generously that what the businessman wants is fame and profit. If the robbery breaks his reputation, he can only rob him once, and the business can go on. Rogers was very troubled, he didn't understand at all, but he was willing to learn. Intuition tells Rogers that only when he understands it can he fit into the mercenary group.

The hammer is also very troubled because he is lost.

Six days ago, they broke the cottage and figured out the whole story. The lord near the cottage is Murphy Baron, he is the vassal lord of the Solim family. It happened that the second son of Marquis Solim was particularly keen on hunting, but the lord could not hunt uncontrollably. In order to please Solim's family, Murphy Baron tried to control the mountain forest as a hunting place for Solim's second son. There are four villages in the forest, more than 500 mountain people, no matter whether it is driven or slaughtered, it will not solve the problem. Without mountain people, monsters or other mountain people will always come to occupy the land, and it is very unrealistic to send soldiers to station for a long time. . Therefore, Murphy Baron supported a puppet, that is, the leader of the mountain people, Moore. Baron clearly told Moore that this mountain forest will become the hunting ground for the second son of the Marquis of Solim. He no longer allows mountain people to hunt or migrate. The mountain people rely on gathering for their livelihoods and exchange living supplies with amber and herbs. At the same time, Baron also intends to drop ferocious beasts in the mountains and forests.

Moore was originally a rogue among the mountain people. After being driven out of the village, he actually got on with the relationship of the lord. Baron's request he hurriedly agreed to all. Then, Moore took the lord’s army and killed the leader of the mountain people who had exiled him and became the head of the mountain village. Then he began to annex three other mountain villages. When the mountain people heard that they could no longer hunt, the resistance was particularly fierce. Two hundred people died or fled.

The rest is logical. Moore and his cronies were beaten to death by the mountain people. The Warhammer mercenary group implemented Article 3 of the mercenary manual and exchanged some supplies for some mountain products. The people seek a way out and burn the cottage again. Whether those survivors build their own cottages or take refuge in other mountain people, they will pass on the strength and rules of the Warhammer mercenary group. Trading is a friend, and non-trading is an enemy!

After the mountain people killed Moore with their own hands, they fled separately. It is unlikely that they will lead the Lord's Knight to track the mercenary group. But in order to avoid unnecessary fighting, the Warhammer mercenary group quickly left the area, only to find that the road was wrong.

The hammer stood on a high place, looking at a vast expanse of forest, and then looking at the map in his hand, it should be a mountain forest. He cursed: "Everyone says Barol is a smart man. , The map I bought with a lot of money is actually a fake! What the hell is that?"

"The road ahead is wrong. According to the mark on the map, the lord near the cottage is not Murphy at all. Baron. Now, we can’t look back. Who knows if that Baron hunted us down?"

Fermi took the map and took a closer look. Kidd looked at the dense forest below and said: "Such a big The forest of Gambis should be the dark forest of Gambis. The question now is, which corner of the dark forest are we in?"

The dark forest is the largest forest in Gambis Kingdom, with a size of 22,000 square kilometers, which is unpredictable. There are so many monsters, and few humans set foot. It is said that Knight led an army of more than one hundred men into the dark forest to explore resources, but no one ran out. Since then, the dark forest has become a restricted area for ordinary persons. The mercenary group only knew that it might be a dark forest below, but didn't know that this was the corner of the forest. Without a map, how to go the road behind became a problem.

The three people worked together for a long time without any clue, Hammer said impatiently: "Forget it, go to breakfast first. Then ask those rookies."

Campsite Everyone here has gotten up. They rolled up the sheepskin blankets, ready to go on the road at any time, and the freelance merchants instructed the novice mercenaries to spread out the leather goods and herbs one after another, and accept the sunlight. Seeing the three chiefs approaching, a few clever young mountain people quickly swept away the ashes of the campfire and dug up many simmered sweet potatoes from the ground, which were buried under the fire when the fire was built last night. The sweet potato taken out at this time was still warm, fragrant, and appetizing.

After having had breakfast, the hammer called Rogers over.

"Little big man, do you know that you are surrounded by the land of that noble lord?"

Rogers is tall and strong, like an adult man, but he is only a 15-year-old mountain boy , I don't know anything about the outside world, even Murphy Baron has only recently heard of it. Rogers kept shaking his head, the hammer sighed, and Kidd went to Fat Wedge to ask about the situation.

"Wedge Boss, do you know that Murphy Baron’s neighbor is the Lord Lord?"

"Can I know it? This is my second time out. "Fat Wedge was busy drying the red tendon grass without lifting his head, and Dodge, who was drying the antelope cowhide next to him, said: "I don't know how many lords we pass by now."

"It's all ignorant guys!" Fermi snorted angrily.

Place the last red tendon grass, Witch clapped his hands with satisfaction, looked up and saw three mercenary groups with sad faces, "ge-deng" in his heart.

"Head of Hammer, isn't he lost?!"

When he heard this, several vendors immediately surrounded him, and Hammer had to tell them the situation.

"Now, we can't look back, nor can we directly enter other lords' territories, and find a remote place to go back."

Weech suddenly became anxious, and hurriedly called: "Go back? Why go back? Didn’t we go to Naville Kingdom? We still have a lot of things left to change, how can we go back? Commander Hammer, listen to me, we got 64 ambers in total, each worth of amber There are more than 10 kinsols and 3 yellow-patterned ambers, which can sell at least 300 kinsols. These treasures are exchanged for 150 pounds of salt and 5000 arrows, and the cost is not a fraction of the profit. Listen. I said that the quality of Naville amber is better. I have gone so far. Why should I go and see it?"

"I didn't say I want to go back, but I don't have a map and don't know the way. How do I get to Naville?" The hammer said dully.

"Then find a town to ask people, it is better to buy a map." As soon as Dodge finished talking, another freelance trader jumped up and opposed, "With so many valuable things, here again There is no way to get robbed? Lord Lord will not do this kind of abuse, other people can't say!"

Weiqi stepped up and said, "I must go to the town. The salt is running out, and the linen is gone. Some mountain products have to be sold quickly. The leather goods of the mountain people are not handled well, especially the antelope hides, which are very delicate. If they are not shipped, they will be bad. If you take up a place, you have to sell it, and the honey, if you drop it, it will be all over!"

"Yes! Yes! Yes! You must find a town for shipment. These antelope hides are made for Lord Knight. The armor lining is used especially for appearance. The price of flawed leather and perfect leather can be ten times different! If you don't ask a cobbler to deal with it, these are worthless!" Free private merchants who specialize in leather goods repeatedly echoed.

"What if I get robbed? Isn't it lost?!"

Vendors were silent, doing business in a place where they were not familiar with, and being local tyrant Exploitation is inevitable, but if it is targeted, it will be a loss of wealth.

"We will not enter the town! Mercenary group has rules for entering villages and towns. You have to pay per person, and everything must be checked once, and you can only settle down in a designated place. Otherwise, according to the theory of banditry We are all free people with no background, and no one can guarantee anything." Hammer resolutely and decisively said.

The merchants showed frustrated expressions, but Kidd said calmly: "The mercenary group will not enter the town. We will camp in the wild, but we can send some people to accompany you in, as long as you don’t wear armor. , It’s okay if you don’t bring a lance. You leave those valuable goods to our care, you go to buy supplies and sell the goods. We are responsible for the safety outside the town, and it’s up to you inside the town, how about?"

"That's very good!" Wei Qi said happily. As long as he manages up and down, no one will rob in the town. Although the price will inevitably be lowered, at least Shanmin's business can continue.

"I would like to remind you, go to church to pray and donate some money. The priest will naturally not let everyone happen." Fermi said with a smile.

"But where is the town?" Dodge asked.

"Tell us about the town." The hammer looked up at the dust falcon on the treetop.

————————————

The night is low, the mountain breeze screams, the twisted branches of the trees dance wildly, and the shadows on the ground move with it, Ghost shadow The gloomy valley looks extremely terrifying.

A half-human owl flapped its wings and landed on a low tree. With the dim moonlight, its green eyes looked around, seeming to be looking for something.

"You are here."

The shadows of the dwarf trees rippling like water, and filled with mist, finally return to calm. The big owl closed one eye, and the other eye became extraordinarily bright. It stared at the shadow under the tree, but there was a chuckle in the shadow: "Don't waste your time, my body is not here."

The big owl made a long howl, gradually turning into a hoarse and unpleasant voice: "Ghost, why summon me? Is there anything I can't let those mortals send messages?"

"Recently, my subordinates were stared to death, so I can only run a trip in person." The shadow fluctuated, and the voice continued: "Don't worry, there is no one here, no one will know that there are two wizards at the party, let alone We are not here."

"What's the matter, let's talk about it, there is always risk in using witchcraft." The big owl turned its ears, listening for all movements in a 500-meter radius, ready to fly away at any time .

"I want to make a deal with your Shadow Council to deal with a little nobleman." Ghost said.

"Impossible! Killing nobles with witchcraft will inevitably lead to the chase of the church. The Pope's big prophecy is not a joke!" The Owl decisively refused.

"Two newcomers!"

"What?"

"Aren't you Shadow Council always soliciting wizards? I found two newly awakened Wizard, they have been hidden by my people. Promise me, they are yours!" The ghost whispered.

"Talk about your plan specifically, if feasible, we can consider it." Big Owl said.

"Hehe, you know that you have a way to fight against the big prophecy. In fact, this plan does not pose any risk to you. I would like to ask the demagogues of the Shadow Council to take action to influence the judgment of an aristocratic lady. Let the Phantom deceive a Silver Knight, and finally invite the Soulbreaker to assassinate a little nobleman." The ghost smiled and continued: "Soulbreaker shots are natural deaths and will not attract the attention of the church. The ability to confuse the person. It is even more illusory, no trace is to be found. Although he can't influence Knight, the lady is just a trainee Knight. As for the phantom, there is no need to meet Silver Knight, as long as he deceives his men and sends a letter. "

The big owl was silent for a moment, and said: "The Broken Soul is dead, and the bewitcher has also caused a big trouble, I am afraid it can't help you."

"You are prevarication Me? That's the end of our cooperation!"

The shadows are surging like a wave of anger. Seeing the old friend's anger, the big owl explained: "The ability of the broken soul is strange, but it is also dangerous. , It is very likely to be backlashed. More than a year ago, Fire Crow, the guide of Soul Breaker and Bewitcher, heard the whispers and didn’t know what he was going crazy. He actually regarded Whisperer as the king of the shadows we invented. He Send Broken Soul to assassinate an Elf bloodline nobleman, but Broken Soul has an accident. Fire Crow still refuses to give up. Sending a bewitcher affects the eldest son of a great nobleman and continues to hunt the Elf bloodline nobleman. Worst of all, Fire Crow It was discovered by a Paladin. Fortunately, he annihilated his soul, which did not expose us to the Shadow Council."

The ghost has been speechless for a long time, and very few wizards can hear strange voices. , The master of the voice is called Whisperer by the wizards, and the devil by the church. Wizards without guides will be influenced by Whisperer and do many extraordinary things, and then they will be purified by the church. And those wizards who have guides will be warned, don't pay attention to the whispers you hear, Whisperer will soon disappear. As the guide of the Shadow Council, Fire Crow was actually controlled by Whisperer. He was indeed an idiot.

"The broken soul is dead, what the hell did the deceiver do? My plan has to use him." The ghost asked unwillingly.

"We guessed that the Whisperer who influenced Fire Crow longed for the elves blood sacrifice. Fire Crow hunted the elves bloodline nobles and wanted to please him. After the Soulbreaker was backlashed, Fire Crow came up with a good way , The eldest son Raymond of Duke Peter of Borui Kingdom. Peter is also a bloodliner of the moon elf, but he is not content with being a mortal. Fire Crow learned that Raymond was collecting sword saint Drawin's battle skill scrolls, so Fire Crow let the deceiver influence Raymond’s steward and convinced Raymond to kill the bloodline nobles of the elves, he can awaken the bloodline of the sword saint Drawin. Afterwards, we recovered the demonstrators, but the action to assassinate the bloodline nobles of the elves has begun. So far, there are three nobles. Assassinated."

"You are too cautious. Raymond Peter is the perfect scapegoat. Let the bewitcher make a shot without directly affecting the noble lady, just affect her confidant maid. Help me, You can get two new members. If I find a new wizard, I still recommend it to you." Ghost said.

"Ghost, as long as you join our Shadow Council, your problem can be solved." Big Owl persuaded.

"You want all the wizards to become nobles, but I am already a noble, why should I join you? I am not so noble to dedicate myself to other wizards! I don't think you can Success! Isn't this kind of cooperation pretty good?" Hades refused not even think.

"Although you are a nobleman, you can only hide in the dark to work for the nobleman. Do you dare to expose your identity? The power of the speaker is beyond your imagination. He also got Chosen One's Inheritance. In the eyes of the speaker, the Sovereign of the church is just a powerful Whisperer, and the priest is also a wizard. Our Shadow Council is different from the Pantheon who only wants revenge. As long as we abandon and listen to the whispers, we can coexist with the church. The orcs in the north are beginning to Stir, when the centaur reaches the Sasan Empire, Human Kingdom will need our strength. Chosen One of us will become nobles like Knight and be enshrined by mortals, instead of hiding in the dark and dare not even dare to come out." Big Owl Said fanatically.

The branches swayed, but the shadows no longer swayed, and the ghost said: "It's a great ideal. I have been helping you, haven't I? Now it's your turn to help me. Only in this way can the cooperation continue."

"Okay! Who is your goal? I need to discuss with other members." The Owl stopped persuading the ghost to join the organization.

"Victor Wimbledon.Randal Viscount. What a coincidence, he is also a elven bloodline noble. You must move quickly. If he is assassinated by Raymond's men, the plan will be meaningless."
